Chapter 230
"This is said here, but can't you spread what Wanwan said, but remember?" Lin Hongfei naturally said this to Chuncao.
Lin Wan stuck out her tongue embarrassedly at Lin Hongfei, as for whether Chuncao's marriage with her cousin wants to continue, it depends on Chuncao's own, after all, Chuncao will live by herself in the future.
After Chuncao nodded with a white face, Lin Hongfei glanced at Lin Wan, and stubbornly passed the topic to the "unexpected" that Lin Wan said when she entered the warm pavilion in the morning.
If Lin Hongfei hadn't brought it up, Lin Wan would have forgotten about it.
Of course, Lin Wan didn't want to tell Lin Hongfei that seeing that Lin Hongfei really cared about herself at the moment, it was not good to hide it from him, after all, Lin Hongfei was the eldest son of the second room, and the matter of the second room naturally did not hide from him.
"Second brother, do you know the accounting situation of our second room?" Lin Wan didn't directly say the number on the books of the second room, and wanted to understand Lin Hongfei's understanding of the housekeeping of the second room from the side.
"The accounting situation of our second room should be the most generous among the houses in the house, but there is a problem with the account books?" Lin Hongfei deserves to be the champion, and he hit the nail on the head with one sentence.
Lin Wan shook her head: "Xu is Wanwan has a short time to get the account book, and she didn't see anything wrong with the account book, but the balance on the account is less than eight hundred taels." ”
"Less than eight hundred taels? How come?! Lin Hongfei's eyes widened in surprise, but the surprise on his face was quickly replaced by Ran, and he sighed helplessly: "Later, I will ask Mo Yan to send you five thousand taels, and my sister will support it first." I'll talk to my father about the rest. ”
It is recognized that the second room, which is considered to be the most generous among the several rooms, is less than eight hundred taels in the account, and no one will believe it when it is said, but Lin Hongfei immediately believed it, Lin Wan knew that Lin Hongfei understood what she did not say.
But Lin Wan didn't mean to let Lin Hongfei take out his private room to supplement the second room, so she hurriedly shook her head and said: "Wanwan only took the account book last night, and only roughly read the general account, and after Wanwan looked at the account carefully, if it really can't be turned, then borrow it with the second brother." ”
Although Lin Hongfei didn't spend much time with Luo and Lin Wenbo, he knew the parents better than Lin Wan.
Lin Wan was still young and had just returned home, so naturally there were many things she couldn't think of, Lin Hongfei, who was a brother, wanted to remind her and help her.
So Lin Hongfei first released the monthly money from the general ledger room of Zhennan Hou Mansion and began to popularize it for Lin Wan.
The general ledger office of Zhennan Hou Mansion will distribute the monthly money of each room on the first day of each month, and then each room will distribute the monthly money to everyone.
The day of the monthly money in the second room is fixed on the eighth day of the first month of the month, as for why there is an eight-day interval, Lin Hongfei did not say, and Lin Wan did not ask, there must be an article in it.
In this way, the silver on the general ledger of the second room is the silver after the monthly money of the month is issued by the account office in the house.
Speaking of this, Lin Hongfei glanced at Lin Wan, and saw Lin Wan staring at him with a pair of clear and clear eyes, and listened very seriously, so he first gave Lin Wan the monthly money of the masters of Zhennanhou Mansion, of course, the focus was on the second room.
As the head of the second room, Lin Wenbo's monthly income is 200 taels, Luo's mother, as the housemother of the inner courtyard, also has 100 taels, and Aunt Gui ......
Speaking of Aunt Gui's monthly money, Lin Hongfei frowned, it stands to reason that the monthly money of the aunts in the house is the same as that of the girls, but as far as he knows, Aunt Gui's monthly money is not less than that of the sons in the house.
In order to give Lin Wan a wake-up call, Lin Hongfei decided to tell the truth: "According to the regulations of the house, the monthly money of the aunt is the same as the monthly money of the girls, both of which are five taels. However, Aunt Gui's monthly money seems to be a little special, and my sister might as well ask her father before sending her monthly money. ”
Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Lin Wan couldn't help frowning, it seems that this Aunt Gui in the second room is really a special existence.
But since I have returned to the house, I have to follow the rules of the house!
Lin Wan is not the kind of reckless person, she has already thought about it, before sending the monthly money, she will ask the Cai family for advice to see what kind of attitude the Cai family has, and of course, she must find a way to find out what Lin Wenbo really thinks.
Lin Wan has long seen that if she wants to live in Zhennanhou Mansion, Cai's is her biggest support, and if she wants to gain a firm foothold in the second room, Lin Wenbo is the thigh she must hug, and of course, the brother opposite is also a big leg, so she should hug it.
Lin Wan smiled sweetly at Lin Hongfei: "Thank you second brother for reminding me, Wanwan will definitely ask her father before sending the monthly money, how to say that Aunt Gui is also her father's person, and she must always do what her father wants." ”
Lin Hongfei gave Lin Wan an appreciative look, and praised Lin Wan's cleverness in his heart.
Lin Hongfei was about to say something more, but the carriage slowly stopped, slightly lifted the curtain, it turned out that the carriage had arrived at the side gate of Zhennan Hou's Mansion, and was waiting for the doorman to open the door.
Because there was still something to say to Lin Wan, Lin Hongfei simply followed Lin Wan to the warm pavilion, asked Mama Bai to find out the roster of the second room, and continued to popularize the distribution of monthly money for Lin Wan.
"Father's monthly money is two hundred taels, why is the second brother's only one hundred taels, is it enough?" When Lin Wan found that Lin Hongfei's monthly money was only half of Lin Wenbo's, she couldn't help frowning slightly.
Lin Hongfei understood that Lin Wan was caring about him, and his heart couldn't help but warm, and he explained with a smile: "My father has a high official position, and he has a lot of entertainment on weekdays, and two hundred taels of silver may not be enough." Your second brother and I, now it's just a small revision of the Hanlin Academy, and the Hanlin Academy is the Qingshui Yamen, and there is not much entertainment on weekdays, not to mention that one hundred taels is fifty taels, and it may not be used up. ”
Lin Wan nodded silently and looked back at the roster.
The roster at hand records the errands and monthly money of the subordinates belonging to the second room, and Lin Wan only needs to issue the monthly money according to the roster.
Lin Hongfei's focus on popularizing Lin Wan is the distribution of the monthly money of the masters in the house.
In addition to Lin Wenbo, Luo's, Gui's and Lin Wenbo, who has already started to work on errands, Lin Hongyu, Lin Wan, Lin Na, and Lin Yuan's monthly money is the same as all the sons and girls in the house, regardless of their concubines.
Lin Hongyu's monthly money is twenty taels, and the clothes of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are uniformly purchased by the house.
Lin Wan, Lin Na and Lin Yuan's monthly money is five taels, and the rouge gouache clothes for the four seasons are also purchased by the house.
If Aunt Gui's monthly money is still calculated according to the previous twenty taels, the monthly money of the second room light master is four hundred and fifty-five taels.
There is a total of one chief steward under the name of the second room, eight stewards and stewards, two full-time nurses, fifteen big maids, six long-term and personal maids, twenty-five second-class maids, twenty-eight third-class maids, and ten rough mothers-in-law and runners.
The monthly money is three hundred and eleven taels and six dollars.
The two items together are seven hundred and sixty-six taels and six dollars, and there are only seven hundred and eighty-two taels and three coins in the account in total, which means that after the monthly money is paid, Lin Wan, the person in charge of the housekeeping of the second room, only has fifteen taels and seven dollars left in his hand.
Although the Zhennan Hou Mansion is not separated, the ordinary personal relations between the in-laws of each house have to be paid by their respective rooms, and they cannot be paid from the public school.
Then the account that seems to be no problem is actually very problematic.
If there is a relationship between relatives and friends who need to be courteous at this time, how should they respond?
